Since you are sure that this is bait and you still want to eat it, then use heavy, ruthless, and deadly hands to take the opponent down by force!
Because even if Chen Zhong and others are allowed to enter Kabul as internal agents and copy Oswin's retreat, there is still a premise, that is, Cao Cao must contain Oswin's main force. Only in this way can the Chen family's power completely cut off Oswin's presence in Kabul. The area's food routes.
If Cao Cao didn't bite Oswin's main force, even the strength of the Chen family would not be able to do this. The elites Kushan invested in the Kabul Valley are quite outrageous in terms of scale and strength. Even if the Chen family is He is considered tyrannical among the major families. Faced with this kind of power, even if he stabs him from the back, he will be stabbed to death easily.
Therefore, the prerequisite for Chen Qun's plan is that Cao Cao must contain Oswin's main force, so that Oswin and his group have no time to free up their hands to wipe out the Chen family's personnel who came from Baktra to "aid" the Kabul Valley, and this is the basis. .
It is precisely because of this that if Cao Cao wants to implement the plan, he must defend Kandahar in the early stage, and then attack Oswin's main force at the right time, bite Oswin regardless of the consequences, and create opportunities for the Chen family to cut off the Kabul grain route.
But now that the heavy bait, that is, the Imperial Scepter has appeared, Cao Cao's plan is obvious. I will kill the Imperial Scepter by force. Even if I can't kill this thing and chase the opponent to chop it down, Oswin will definitely come over. In this way It's not that I'm obsessed with Oswin, but Oswin is obsessed with me.
Compared with taking the initiative to pester the other party, it is more in line with the strategic initiative for the other party to pester you. In this way, when the Chen family takes action, Oswin will be less likely to run away, because when he pesters Oswin, Oswin will do it for the sake of strategy. Take the initiative and definitely want to run.
But when Oswin is pestering him, strategically speaking, he must want to run away. In this way, he pretends that he wants to run, but in fact he doesn't want to run. What is true is false, and what is false is true. Oswin's routine is true and false. , it is definitely not a problem to tie Oswin to death by his side.
The only trouble is that Kandahar may suffer a so-called unknown attack, but once the situation turns into Oswin pestering him, Cao Cao will try his best to retreat to Kandahar, and maybe he can take care of both directions. After all, so far, Cao Cao's men No one in the group knew what Oswin's ultimate move was, and even the main force on Oswin's side didn't know what Oswin was thinking.
This is very impressive, so when he can take care of both directions, Cao Cao feels that it is better for him to take care of both directions.
From a certain point of view, Cao Cao's ability to quickly judge the situation that is favorable to him in such a short period of time and screen out a plan with comprehensive advantages is actually very impressive. However, both Xun You and Chen Gong felt that Chen Qun's plan could fail, but Taking the initiative is definitely a pitfall.
Although the two of them did not find the problem, when the situation reached this point, they both felt that a storm was about to come, so the two of them would rather be passive and hold on to the plate. After all, it was a hard fight with every inch of mountain and river and every inch of blood. Don't give up easily.
But looking at the current situation, the bait is so big that Xun You and others have actually doubted whether Oswin's trump card is directly aimed at Kandahar.
"This is the situation. The Imperial Scepter of Kushan led the main backbone army to appear in the middle reaches of the Helmand River. After being determined by Beigui's guide, they should have come along some mountain trails in the Hindu Kush Mountains. ." After Cao Cao explained the information in detail, he looked at the civil and military personnel below and said.
"Is the mountain trail in the Hindu Kush Mountains so easy to come by?" Cheng Yu frowned. He hoped it was easy, but the previous reality had told him that it was definitely not easy.
It was precisely because it was not easy to get here that Cheng Yu realized that the imperial scepter appeared here as bait. It was also because it was so difficult to get here that he took a detour from Kabul and took the mountain trail inside the Hindu Kush Mountains to Helmand. The trip to the middle of the river was destined to be prepared by the other party a long time ago. In other words, this plan may have been thought about for a long time.
"So it must be a bait, a tactic to lure us out of Kandahar." Chen Qun sat up straight and said. He is a conservative. His suggestion is to ignore other things and just sit and watch Oswin's performance. After two months, Oswin will And Ardashir will definitely go out to bite Oswin when they have food and fodder problems due to a long-term attack.
From the beginning, Chen Qun didn't care about Ardashir. The opponent's strength was military, but the war was not just military. The various messy operations involved were fatal from the beginning.
"This is bait." Cao Cao nodded and said. He also agreed with this. "What Gongtai said at the time was correct. Our Achilles' heel is Kandahar. As long as there is no problem in Kandahar, no matter whether it is Oswin or Ardashir, Sooner or later something will go wrong because hidden dangers will break out.”
"Yes, I also tend to stay in Kandahar." Chen Gong directly stood up and rejected Cao Cao's idea. He squatted in Kandahar for a month. If that didn't work, he would squat for two months. After that, great changes would definitely happen. This may not be the case. Win, but never lose.
The biggest problem now is that they don't know what Kushan is going to do. Although they guess that the other party wants to recapture Kandahar, how to recapture it is a problem.
"The main force led by the Imperial Scepter appeared in the middle reaches of the Helmand River. Now it is heading eastward in the opposite direction. Zixiao's fortress is actually mainly defending the outside. If we attack from both sides at the same time..." Cao Cao said with some worry. In fact, this was just A reason.
On the one hand, the city where Cao Ren is stationed may not fall. On the other hand, even if it is really possible to be defeated, it will not be now. Wait, every additional day, the advantage of Cao Ren's army will be greater. Cao Ren will drag one more In a month's time, the situation will become much clearer.
Of course, it is undeniable that if it takes a month, the imperial scepter will definitely run away this time, and by that time, even if the Chen family cuts off Oswin's food route and occupies the Kabul Valley, Oswin will lead Kapil When the others retreat, Cao Cao may not be able to bite Oswin because of the delay in fighting, and at most it will be equivalent to Oswin returning without success and losing some food and grass.
But after the front retreated to the Kabul Valley, Kushan's logistical pressure had been reduced a lot. It would not take much time to retreat and re-transport.
This is very uncomfortable, and can only be described as an invincible situation.
After all, war is not a game, and the opponent's performance will be different at every step. When the Han Dynasty pursues the winning rate, Oswin also wants to win, so when to bite Oswin and when to bear the blow, you need to plan well. .
"Wen Ruo, are you sure you can hold Kandahar after I attack?" Cao Cao finally made up his mind and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu nodded, "It can be done."
Chen Gong and Xun You were both slightly startled. Can they really do it?
"Okay." Xun Yu said calmly.
After Chen Gong and Xun You were sure that Xun Yu was not talking nonsense, they didn't say anything more. Since Xun Yu said that he could hold on, it was definitely the best choice to take care of both sides, and only by biting the imperial scepter would he give up. Oswin bites Cao Jun firmly, and only in this way can Oswin's problem be completely solved.
Cheng Yu took a deep look at Xun Yu. He had suspected that Xun Yu had some plans in Kandahar, but he had never used them before.
"We can definitely hold it for fifteen days. If we can't come back for twenty-five days, Kandahar will still be in our hands, but you need to be prepared to rebuild." Xun Yu said calmly.
Chen Gong and others' pupils shrank suddenly when they heard this. Is this how the three large-scale water conservancy projects near Kandahar are used?
Compared with the small dykes built in the upper reaches of the Helmand River, the several dykes around Kandahar are the result of careful design by real water conservancy personnel of the Han Dynasty, and Kandahar is a plateau oasis facing the desert. If there is a flood, …
Not to mention this era, in the 21st century, due to flash floods in the Kandahar area, more than 2,000 households were flooded without the three dams being washed away, and a total of 12.20,000 people were affected.
This is under the premise that the three major dykes in Kandahar have not been washed away. If the three major dykes are artificially destroyed and the floods pour in, everything outside except the urban area of Kandahar will basically be ruined. Who made Kandahar an oasis on the plateau, and the floods will pour in quickly. It will turn into a mudslide, with a drop of more than a thousand meters, and any enemy will die.
Xun Yu's image has always been that of a gentleman, and his behavior and language are consistent with the image of a gentleman. But when this man actually struck, his ruthlessness exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
"In twenty-five days, if there is really a problem in Kandahar, I will use the letter eagle to notify the front line. Then you can just send people back. As for the issue of internal spies, although this has an impact, the city gate is not so easy to open. "Xun Yu said with a calm expression.
"If this is the case, I can accept it." Chen Gong glanced at Xun Yu twice, nodded and said. What he was most afraid of was that if they stepped out with their front legs, they would be in chaos. In this case, unless they really follow Chen Qun's plan The change of house is completed, otherwise winning is equal to losing.
"I will stay in Kandahar." Cheng Yu was silent for a while and looked at Cao Cao. He had an intuition that this battle would not be so easy. In fact, when Chen Gong asked where their weak point was, Cheng Yu There were some other feelings, but he didn't say them.
"Let Wenruo and Zhongde stay in Kandahar." Cao Cao nodded. He was ready to go out collectively. It would be best if he could take the imperial scepter. If he couldn't take it, he would bite Oswin. As long as he bites Oswin, he would be The Chen family in the north buys time and the Kabul Valley is on fire, which is their chance of victory.
